New Marvel's Spider-Man 2 Update Includes Several Bug Fixes, Increased Stability, And More

Peter Parker has been through a lot across comics, TV, movies, and games. One constant is the death of Uncle Ben, putting him on the path of heroism as he vows to use his powers responsibly. In a few adaptations and stories, ol' May kicks the bucket too, like in the Insomniac games. But she does that when he's an adult, so Pete at least gets a childhood with her. Unless you manage to time travel like RebelOrion did.

Since Alan Wake 2’s launch in late October, developer Remedy Entertainment has released a number of patches for the survival horror title to sand out some of its lingering rough edges. Now, Update 12 has rolled out for the game as well, and it brings a host of additional fixes and improvements.

Lies of P launched back in September and turned out to be a Soulslike favorite amongst critics and fans alike this year – we gave it one of our highest scores of 2023 and you can read about why in Game Informer's Lies of P review. To celebrate the game's reception, director Jiwon Choi released a Director's Letter video earlier this month to tease some images of Lies of P's DLC and reveal details about an upcoming update. That update is now out and it includes free cosmetic items, some bug fixes, and balance changes that should make the game easier. 

The release of DLC for could finally resolve a huge missed opportunity from. The second game released in Insomniac's series,, was an outstanding title; however, the base game was short and it lacked any DLC. This was compounded in the most recent game, by the fact that, for the most part, comes across as a Peter Parker-orientated game, with Miles being relegated to the unenviable position of being the game's secondary protagonist — especially during the main story sections concerning Harry Osborn and the game's primary antagonist, the sentient alien Symbiote known as Venom.

Miles Morales will be the main Spider-Man going forward in Insomniac's games as Peter Parker is taking a much-deserved rest from the spandex and webs. But of course, gamers are gonna gamer, so there is plenty of outrage over this revelation.

Two members of Marvel's Spider-Man 2 narrative team have shed more light on the game's ending, and what it means for Peter Parker and Miles Morales.

There are a lot of suits to unlock for Miles and Peter in Marvel's Spider-Man 2. So many that there are bound to be a few you like and a few you don't. However, one suit, in particular, has been turning heads for all the wrong reasons and appears to be universally loathed by everyone who has unlocked it. One very minor spoiler here as the suit in question is one that you unlock for Miles towards the end of the game, but no major spoilers beyond that since I'm only halfway through the game myself.
